OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date

A game that starts and has one or
amore lengthy rain delays helps no one either.
How the rest of the season ends up notwithstanding and whatever happens with Alonso; and I don't care if he stays or goes: but I'm struck by the fact that we really have a need for another left-handed middle of the lineup power bat.
Padres lead Dodgers 4-1 in the fourth.
I believe that for the Mets to have a legit shot at catching the Padres for the 4 seed, they would have had to sweep the Braves. Since that isn't happening, I am no longer rooting against the Padres. I want them to catch the Dodgers, and be fully motivated in their final series against the D-Backs. Just in case Plan B is needed, which we all hope it is not.
DISCLAIMER: I fully realize that who I root for has no bearing on anything.

Facing Chris Sale in the House of Horror is a much more daunting task than Ranger Suarez at Citifield. .
Hence my fear ..,,reinforced by decades of futility vs Braves historically and as recent as 2 years ago.
Think he is listening to a Bruce Springsteen concert video--Out in the Street (you would have to be a Springsteen fan to appreciate).
Can they play double header in Miami tomorrow ?
Can they even get there ?
Marlins on the road .
Mets would love it . Could get 2500 plus walk up Mets fans to sit behind their dugout

Yesterday's Tampa at Detroit game was moved from a scheduled 6:40 start to 1pm due to a forecast of rain. I would love to hear someone from MLB; (or is it them in conjuction with the home team) explain why the same thing wasn't done with today's game!
You know the situation better than I, but from what I read, it will rain all afternoon and evening. I will defer to you on that one.
All I can say is nothing as of yet and I'm currently around 3 miles from the stadium at an appointment. When I return home I'll be around 10-12 miles from the ballpark.
Don't know why they could not have had a noon or 1 p.m. start. Current conditions in Atlanta are mostly cloudy.

I agree. It seemed like a pretty obvious move. If there is a double header on Monday, the team that emerges with a playoff spot is going to have a bit of a mess on their hands, putting together a rested staff to pitch a short series starting Tuesday.
I'm old enough to remember MLB screwing us for home field against the Astros in '86 because of an Oilers home game. This subsequently screwed us in '88 when we should have had home field due to the every other year swap thing.
They just apparently will never fully grasp it, although I applaud recent changes like putting a runner on 2nd in the 10th to avoid depleting a pitching staff April thru September.

Beginning lines from The Athletic on last night's game:
"ATLANTA — An exorcism is not supposed to start with a reintroduction of your demons.
Poised to make a statement in this enormous series at Truist Park, the New York Mets instead played one of their sloppiest games in months."

...and some extra rest for Lindor.
As of now, I can't find anything on line indicating this game has already been canceled.

MLB could have overridden any desire of either team and forced different logistics for the games and did not.

The Weather Channel is still showing at least an 80% chance of rain through 2AM.
If there should be a game Lindor is batting leadoff and playing SS. But getting rained out and having the Braves need to pitch Sale and Fried and maybe Schwellenbach over the weekend instead of Monday would be a nice piece of karma for the Braves.
